Farmhouse Slang

Farmhouse Slang is the mainstay mixed fermentation saison in our Belgian program. Similar to Oceans Between Us and You, Me and Everyone We Know, this beer will get a different treatment with each release. The whole idea with our Belgian program is to allow for flexibility and creativity without the restriction and consistency requirements our clean beer requires.

The result is one of our best beers and truly a culmination of everything we have learned about Saison over the years.

Farmhouse Slang won a bronze medal at the 2016 U.S. Open Beer Championship for French/Belgian Saison.

Born in a Barn

Born in a Barn was an idea born out of selfish necessity. We wanted a house beer that you could only enjoy while at the brewery. It quickly became a beer that y’all looked forward to drinking in the tasting room, even though many of you gave us grief about not letting it leave in a growler. Each iteration of Born in the Barn will be something new and exciting.

It's now available to-go in bottles.

Availability: House Beer

Barrel Aged Old Mad Joy

Old Mad Joy is a baltic porter with layered malt complexities of chocolate, coffee and roasted barley. This dark and rich lager shines with a boozy but restrained sweetness, and builds a slight fruitiness as it warms. 10% ABV

Oceans Between Us

Oceans Between Us is a 100% Brettanomyces IPA and an ever-changing exploration of funk and hops. Each release will feature a new dry hop.

What is Brettanomyces? Think about Brettanomyces, commonly referred to as “Brett,” as slow-moving yeast producing a wide variety of earthy, topical, funky, and mildly tart flavors.

You, Me & Everyone We Know

"You, Me and Everyone We Know,” is the sour mainstay of our Belgian Program. The name is a testament to the people with whom we fill our lives -- people who inspire us, make us better, and those we couldn’t live without. This beer, like those people, motivates us to express ourselves through beer, which always seem to get better with age. Each batch of our Belgian Program beers will be a little different, but the base beer will always be a golden sour.
